Sagebrush Burns, SASS # 14226 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Lately I acquired a M-86 45-70 with a crescent bull plate and it is beating the tar out of me even with lighter loads. Where can I find a lace-on recoil pad that works with the crescent butt plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I have good luck with Kirkpatrick butt covers. Insert a 1/2" piece of dense foam if you need more protection. Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Not a lace on, but very effective. http://www.shootersfriend.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Hangtree Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Why would you want lace on your recoil pad? That would just look silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can I find a lace-on recoil pad that works with the crescent butt plate? I am up against a similar dilemma , have a High-Wall short rifle with that shoulder killing crescent buttplate. I called Winchester/Browning to see if I could get a shotgun butt style stock for it ; Yes , can get one , just shy of 400.00 ; that was about 8 or 9 months ago. It is a bit harsh even with light loads , I have not touched off any full-power loads , they were enough in my old Sharps(which I no longer have) and it weighed 12 lbs. Rex , who should have known better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Bane, SASS 13557 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I used a Kirkpatrick lace on butt cover-- the gun's, not mine -- with a 1/2 inch of Sorbathane in it for the Marlin Cowboy 45-70 I used on Cape Buffalo a couple of years back. The loads were retina-detachers... Wolf Bane SASS13357 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Wolf Bane , where did you get the sorbothane pad? Was it raw material or did you cut down an actual recoil pad ? Curious because I need to do something with my rifle. Can't shoot anything but light loads the way it is now. I'm thinking of cutting the curve off my stock and putting something like you described on it. Rex , who has a 78 year old shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Badly Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Ricochet Roy makes one that flattens out the crescent with a pad. Works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucky McPee Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Give Gunstock Covers a look. https://gunstockcover.com I have his covers on all my rifles and shotguns including my Uberti baby rolling block 45-70. That baby kicks like a mule. Knucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rough 'N Ready Rob Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Try Kick Killer Recoil Pads, type it in on you puter, I use them on my shotguns, lace ups look period correct, better they velcro. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
